Chaotic Krill Herd with Fuzzy Based Routing Protocol for Wireless Networks

Energy is considered a valuable source in wireless sensor networks (WSN) for effectively improving the survivability of the network. The non-uniform dispersion of load in the network causes unbalanced energy dissipation which can result in network interruption. The route selection process can be considered as an optimization problem and is solved by utilize of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. This study introduces an energy efficient chaotic krill herd algorithm with adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system based routing (EECKHA-ANFIS) protocol for WSN. The goal of the EECKHA-ANFIS method is for deriving a better set of routes to destination in such a way as to improve the survivability in the wireless networks. Primarily, the ANFIS model utilizes the models of fuzzy logic and neural networks (NN) to effectively select the relay nodes for energy efficient communication. Besides, a group of fuzzy rules with membership functions (MF) are designed for selecting the next hop node in wireless networks based on distinct input parameters. Moreover, the optimal selection of MF takes place by the use of chaotic krill herd algorithm (CKHA). In order to showcase the improved performance of the EECKHA-ANFIS approach, a series of simulations are implemented and outcomes are inspected under several aspects. The extensive result analysis demonstrates the betterment of the EECKHA-ANFIS technique over the existing techniques interms of different measures.

A fuzzy-rough approach for the maintenance of distributed case-based reasoning systems

Case-based reasoning (CBR) means reasoning from prior examples and it has considerable potential for building intelligent assistant system for the World Wide Web. In order to develop successful Web-based CBR systems, we need to select a set of representative cases for the client side case-base such that this thin client is competence in problem solving. This paper proposes a fuzzy-rough method of selecting cases for such a distributed CBR system, i.e., a thin client system (a smaller case-base with rules) connected to a comparatively more powerful server system (the entire original case-base). The methodology is mainly based on the idea that an original case-base can be transformed into a smaller case-base together with a group of fuzzy adaptation rules, which could be generated using our fuzzy-rough approach. As a result, the smaller case-base with a group of fuzzy rules will almost have the same problem coverage as the entire original case-base. The method proposed in this paper, consists of four steps. First of all, an approach of learning feature weights automatically is used to evaluate the importance of different features in a given case-base. Secondly, clustering of cases is carried out to identify different concepts in the case-base using the acquired feature weights. Thirdly, fuzzy adaptation rules are mined for each concept using a fuzzy-rough method. Finally, a selection strategy which based on the concepts of case coverage and reachability is used to select representative cases. The effectiveness of our method is demonstrated experimentally using some testing data in the travel domain.
